This phenomenon appears to be a primary factor influencing social and cognitive development during childhood and early adolescence.

Peer-Review Article: The main point of the article is to analyze cross-sectional data from group preference surveys to determine sex and age-related differences in gender cleavage so that researchers can identify possible developmental aspects in gender cleavage for both boys and girls.
